During the recent 2025 short-term survey conducted in the Tula Oblast, ten Dolichopodidae species are collected, all new for this region. Eight species are rather common West or Trans-Palaearctic species. Sybistroma binodicornis Stackelberg, 1941 is supposed to be a synonym of western Palaearctic S. nodicornis Meigen, 1824. Most old records of Syntormon monile (Haliday, 1851) from Europe, North Africa and Turkey belong highly likely to S. submonilis Negrobov, 1975. Chrysotimus molliculus (Fallén, 1823) is excluded from Tula Oblast and added to the fauna of Oryol Oblast.
